Scripture
Reading--Genesis 2:18-23
18And the LORD God said, It is not
good that the man should be alone; I will make
him an help meet for him.
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed
every beast of the field, and every fowl of the
air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called
every living creature, that was the name
thereof.
20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the
fowl of the air, and to every beast of the
field; but for Adam there was not found an help
meet for him.
21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall
upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his
ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken
from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto
the man.
23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
What we see here is that it was always
God's intention to create woman. What we do not
see is where God gives Eve to be Adam's wife.
God made a presentation and Adam made a
decision. Adam had free will in whom he said
was to be bone of his bone and flesh of his
flesh.
Who picked Adam's spouse, Adam did. Who
then picked your spouse?
